Translate Version 1's social value programmes, partnerships and workforce initiatives into contract-specific quantified commitments that are measurable and deliverable.
Maintain and develop the social value content library, ensuring responses are mapped to evaluation criteria, commitments, delivery evidence and scoring feedback.
Own the commitments register, recording every commitment submitted, associated KPIs and reporting requirements.
Support the continuous improvement of our social value proposition by identifying successful themes, reusable content and emerging policy requirements.
Work with AI-assisted drafting tools to improve efficiency while maintaining responsibility for the accuracy, quality and evidence behind every submission.
Stay current with UK procurement policy and social value guidance, National Procurement Policy Statement requirements and best practice across the public sector.
Support driving awareness of Social Value and deliver training across Version 1.
